Possible Causes
Receiver mounted on thin or resonant surface, Loose mounting screws, Transformer or relay hum transmitted to wall, Cables pulling on unit
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power before adjusting the receiver or thermostat mounting.
Steps to check:
- Tighten fixings: Ensure all mounting screws are snug but not over-tightened.
- Add damping: Fit rubber or foam pads between the receiver and the mounting surface to reduce vibration transmission.
- Relieve cable strain: Ensure cables are not pulling the unit out of alignment or causing it to vibrate against the wall.
Resolution: If humming persists and is loud, the internal transformer or relay may be faulty. Replace the receiver.
